About Machinify
Machinify is a healthcare intelligence platform deployed across 85+ health plans, serving over 270 million lives. We build AI-powered systems for payment integrity and audit solutions that optimize financial outcomes and reduce healthcare costs — processing hundreds of millions of documents and validating millions of claims annually.
The Role
We are seeking a Software Architect to own the design and implementation of our intelligent document processing and agentic evaluation framework. This is a hands-on, Senior Staff-level technical leadership role responsible for setting the architectural direction for how our platform ingests, understands, and reasons over complex healthcare documents at scale.
This role requires both architectural vision and strong implementation skills. You will design the APIs, abstractions, and frameworks that power agentic case analysis — and build them alongside a team of experienced engineers. The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in system design, has strong convictions about where abstraction boundaries belong, and writes Python that sets the standard for the team.
What You'll Do
- Own the architecture of Machinify's intelligent document processing platform and agentic evaluation framework — from API design to implementation
- Design abstractions and interfaces that enable agentic workflows to reason over medical records, claims data, and unstructured healthcare documents
- Define the boundaries between orchestration, retrieval, LLM interaction, and domain logic — creating a framework that is principled yet pragmatic. Ensure the system scales.
- Write performant production code — this is a hands-on role where you lead through implementation, not solely through design documents.
- Make foundational technology decisions around prompt architecture, multi-modal LLM integration, RAG patterns, and workflow orchestration
- Drive reliability and observability into AI systems that must operate at healthcare-grade standards
- Collaborate closely with Data Science, Data Engineering, and Product teams to translate complex domain requirements into clean system design
- Reduce technical debt and establish architectural patterns that scale with the platform
- Mentor engineers on system design, API design, and building production-grade AI systems
What We're Looking For
- 10+ years of software engineering experience with a proven track record of owning system architecture at scale
- Experience with Python & Scala/Java — deep experience designing Python-based frameworks and writing idiomatic, well-structured APIs in Python and Scala/Java.
- Demonstrated ability to design effective abstractions: knowing when to generalize, when to keep things concrete, and where to draw boundaries in complex systems
